Looks like some authentic P-40Bs. At least the scenes look more real than in John Wayne's "Flying Tigers." Except the scene where the guy squats on the wing of his buddy's P-40 as they take a cross country flight. Looks like an early Stearman was used in the film too.
Anyhow, just wondering if anyone else has seen this film and what they thought of it.

PLOT DESCRIPTION
China Girl charts the exploits of two-fisted newsreel photographer Johnny Williams (George Montgomery), stationed in Burma and China in the early stage of WW II. Captured by the Japanese, he escapes from a concentration camp with the aid of beautiful, enigmatic "China Girl" Miss Young (Gene Tierney). The two arduously make their way back to friendly lines so that Johnny can deliver the vital military information he's managed to glean from his captors. Though it probably wasn't supposed to happen this way, Lynn Bari steals the film from official star Gene Tierney. China Girl was scripted by Ben Hecht with his usual blend of sentiment and cynicism. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
